The Coimbatore Corporation has obtained Rs. 18.06 crore
from the Union Ministry of Urban Development to implement an
e-governance project. At a meeting held with the Ministry officials in
New Delhi, the Corporation was asked to implement the project with the

corporation said.
The broad areas where the
e-governance project was likely to cover were issuance of birth and
death certificates, payment of property tax, utility bills, grievance
management system, issuance of building plan approvals, accounting
system, and personnel management. The corporation had proposed to extend
the e-governance initiative to school management system, hospital
management system, council management system, file tracking system,
fleet management, online booking system, and document management system.
As

corporation had planned to enable submission of application online for
birth and death certificates, issuance of online registration slips, and
more security features. Similarly, in solid waste management, the
corporation had proposed to introduce GIS and GPS tracking system, and
